Lowering Your Manual Yetti
When lowering, it is recommended to use a surface that is as flat and level as possible. You may lower
your Yetti onto blocks to accomplish this. Increased pressure (side pressure) on the frame structure will
cause the safety pins to be difficult to remove. Side pressure can be caused by the use of tongue jacks;
uneven ground; and tow vehicles that are not in line with the Yetti
Start the lowering process at the tongue. With the ratchet lever engaged, slightly rotate the winch until the
top pin is loose. Remove the safety clip and pin. Move the ratchet lever to its downward position.

lever to its upward position. Wind the winch until there is no pressure on the leaf spring/shackle and make
sure the pin is loose. Remove the safety clip and pin. Move the ratchet lever to its downward position.
